Who Were The 500 People Who Were Spied On?
One article I recall indicated that approximately 500 americans had been the subject of Bush's illegal wire taps. There must be a list somewhere.

How would you feel if you saw your name on the list? What would you do?

6. Agreed. Are we supposed to believe the Media Industrial Complex now?
I don't believe so.

If we now know that the Pentagon, NSA, Secret Service AND Homeland Security (not to mention CIA and FBI*) have been interfering and invading peoples' lives that have in no way asked for such invitation (which is another question, HOW did these services target them?), we have quite a lot of observation happening in the name of "National Security".

5. Bush said this saved American lives. That means these 500

should be in jail for aiding terrorists. Otherwise, Bush has lied to us again.

His false outrage is almost laughable. then you remember this is the "Leader of the Free World"
and his histrionics show a hollow man, an empty suit.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the president of the United States.
Ummm, your call may be monitored for terrist connections.

8. I think we should file a class action lawsuit
At the very least we could invoke the freedom of information act and demand to see if our names are on the list.

11. To reveal that information would endanger our national security.

Even asking for that information makes you suspect. As a matter of fact, asking any questions makes you suspect.
